Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing cities industries and homes. Each of these benefits, however, comes with an enormous risk of security issues and privacy loss. One of the problems is to operate the IoT devices safely and securely, because the complexity increases with the increased number of IoT devices. This expanded complexity makes new security challenges such as safety, privacy, and usability far beyond the difficulties that individual face to provide security to an individual device. This paper highlights security aspects, challenges, importance of security at different layers in IoT, and the existing solutions. Also, different approaches proposed to address security and privacy issues concerning security requirements: authentication, confidentiality, and access control are discussed and analyzed explicitly in the realm of the Internet of Things.
